In celebration of Lunar New Year, and the year of the rooster, we painted…roosters! We used two paintings I found on Etsy as our inspiration. The lines were simple and the brush strokes were bold and easy to follow. After quickly modelling both versions for them, they chose their favourite and set off to paint. I was impressed how confident they were with the task (no pencil drawing, just paint) and how they jumped right in. They are becoming flexible in their artwork, able to adjust and explore and let things happen in real time. Not one student asked for another piece of paper. They're learning that art evolves and takes shape as they're creating. They were immersed in the process. It was quite beautiful. The roosters are beyond amazing - cock a doodle doo! I don't think people would believe six year olds painted these feathered friends. Happy Lunar New Year!
